BASKETBALL SEASON
WILL OPEN TODAY
Teams Ready for Games—New
Plan Goes Into Effect Next
Week.
This afternoon, in the gymnasium, the Shortridge basketball
season will be opened with three
games. The Blues will play the
Blacks, the Purples, the Greens,
and the Reds, the Whites. Probable line-ups have been given
out by the captains. For the
Blues, George and Whitman will
play forward, Kiser, center, and
Born (captain) and Weathers
or Messenheimer, guards. R.
Porter and Barrett will be forwards for the Blacks, Cox, center, W. Porter (captain) and
Stevens, guards. The Purples
will have Bornstein^ (captain)
and Grisso forwards, Woodruff,
center, Henshaw and McCallister
or Long, guards. In the Green
line-up appear Hamilton and
Long or G. Wheeler, forwards,
Wilson or L. Wheeler, center,
Jones (captain) and Stevenson,
Dawson or Leach, guards. Ludlow and Boyd will play forwards for the Whites, Race,
center, Weir and Wilson (captain) guards. Ray, captain for
the Reds, could not give the
line-up for his team. However,
with the material he has, a
team can be formed which will
make a good match for the
Whites.
The new plan for games, already announced, will go into
effect next week. It should be
remembered that, instead of the
four major and four minor
teams of former seasons, a six-
team league has been formed,
with no minor teams. The
games will be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Tuesday games will be free, but a
five-cent admission will be
charged for the Thursday
games. Playing will start
promptly at three o'clock. The
first two games will be played
without intermission. After
these games a five-minute intermission will be given, to allow spectators to leave the
building. The third game will
be for players only.
Interest each year has centered more and more around
basketball. This season is expected to be unusually successful, because of the early start
and great interest. Although
some of the best players of
last year have graduated, their
places are being capably filled
by new men.
SENIOR CREDIT CARDS
HADE OUT YESTERDAY
Office to Verify List—No Senior
Meeting Until Work Is
Completed.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS PRESS CLUB HOLDS
Yesterday at assembly period
seniors filled out their credit
cards. These cards are filled out
preliminary to the publishing of
the senior list, in the Echo. In
order to belong to the senior
class, each candidate must have
twenty-three credits. Gymnasium and music count two credits for two semesters' work,
while the civics credit from the
grades may be substituted for a
semester of history. Pupils new
to Shortridge this year should
see Miss McCoy if they wish to
graduate in June, 1916. All the
cards must be in the office by
Wednesday. Next week Miss
McCoy will start checking over
all the cards. As the number in
the class is very large, this will
take several weeks, and a senior
meeting will probably not be
called before the middle of November.
English I Club.
The English 1 Club, of which
Miss Ray and Miss Little are
censors, will meet this afternoon
in room 38 at conference period.
The program for the afternoon
follows :
Harp solo—Lonnie Fleener.
Story—"Wee Willie Winkie,"
Kipling, Frederica Clement.
Debate—"Resolved, That military training should be introduced in the High School." Affirmative, Donald Miller, Bruce
Lockridge, James Ulrich; negative, Ralph Miller, Allan Sparks,
Heyward Williams. The judges,
who have been selected from Mr.
Otto's debating class, will be Allan Harcourt, Hugh Stevenson
and Jerome Moyer. Following
the program, the members and
their guests will spend a social
half-hour.
"*~Physiography Club.
The weather Saturday favored the tramp of the Physiography Club to Bacon's swamps.
The Meridian Heights car was
taken to the end of the line, and
the swamp was reached by
tramping over fields. Two species of algae were noticed and
various phases of the swamps
were studied. The brush being
very thick, the club turned back
after going through Paw Paw
grove and stopped on the way
at a farm house. Here they observed the mechanism of a gasoline pump.
DISCUSSED DY DOARD
Girls Will Be Allowed To See
All Three Games Today
Only.
Yesterday afternoon the Athletic Board held a meeting and
discussed a number of important questions. Mr. Buck sent
notice to the Board that the
girls will be allowed to stay for
all three games today, but after
today they will be expected to
leave the building at 4 o'clock.
Plans for the annual athletic entertainment were then discussed. Probably the entertainment will be held before the
Christmas holidays. An admission of fifteen cents will be
charged. Hitherto, the tickets
have been placed in charge of
session room teachers, but this
year the Board will attend to
the sale entirely. A definite program for the entertainment has
not been decided on, but a special meeting will be held Monday
for planning the program.
A very few boys who have
won more than one "S" have
sold their extra ones to boys
who have no right to wear
them. The "S" has always stood
for something that had to be
won; so in the future, the Board
is going to investigate the
source of every "S".. If an "S"
that he has not won and "received from the,sBoard is found
in the possession of any student
the "S" will be taken away and
the student severely censured.
Shortridge at Teachers'
Association.
Shortridge will be well represented at the State Teachers' Association this week. Wednesday
evening Mr. Dodson will take
part in a discussion at the high
school conference, in Caleb Mills
Hall. Friday Mr. Otto will address the English teachers of the
state at the Masonic Temple on
"The Application of Class Room
Work in English." The Latin
play will be presented Wednesday before the classical section.
On Friday Miss Griffith will have
a model class in German II, to
illustrate the direct method of
teaching. The pupils will be from
the Shortridge German department. Among the officers of the
Association are Mr. Birge, president of the music section, and
Miss Sullivan, secretary of the
Commercial Teachers' Association.
ITS EIRST MEETING
Niles Tiernan Elected President
—Club to Meet First Wednesday,of Month.
The Press Club held its first
meeting at the conference period
yesterday. Mr. Otto made comments on the Echo of this year,
with a few suggestions as to its
improvement. He said that
after the censors' next meeting,
plans for the Christmas Echo
will be made and the Christmas
story contest will be started.
Tomorrow's Echo will contain
further particulars concerning
the contest.
As the president elected last
year is not on the Echo now, a
new officer had to be chosen.
Edward Nell and Miles Tiernan
were nominated. As it was stated that Edward Nell would
probably be unable to attend the
meetings, Miles Tiernan was
unanimously elected. Frederick
Brewer assumed his popsition as
secretary and called the roll.
The Press Club meetings will
hereafter be held on the first
Wednesday of every month.
Henry Tate Makes Good Record.
Henry Tate, '15, has secured
a position as apprentice fish cul-
turist in the Bureau of Fisheries
of the State of Washington.
Henry is now at the Duckabush
station on Puget Sound, and
from reports is making good. In
i recent letter he states that his
work here in zoology has proved
in\ftluable to him. The work at
the Duckabush station is chiefly
work .in preserving the salmon,
which are very plentiful in the
waters of the state. Henry is
most interested in the work, and
will doubtless give our school
another student to be proud of.
